Everything you need to know about pistachios and pregnancy
During pregnancy, it is normal to ask many questions about what you can eat and what is best to avoid. One of the most talked about foods is dried fruits, particularly the pistachios. But is it true that pistachios in pregnancy are good for you? Or is there any risk associated with their consumption? In this article we answer all common questions, including the topic of toxoplasmosis.
Pistachios in pregnancy: yes or no?
The answer is yes, pistachios in pregnancy can be eaten! Of course, with a few caveats. Pistachios are an excellent source of:
- Plant protein
- Good fats (omega 3 and 6)
- Vitamin B6
- Magnesium, iron and calcium
- Fiber, which helps the intestines work better
👉 Included in moderation in a balanced diet, pistachios can promote the well-being of the mother-to-be and baby.
Can pistachios be eaten during pregnancy? Pay attention to quality
It is essential to choose pistachios that are unsalted, unroasted and free of mold. Dried fruits can contain mycotoxins if stored poorly, so it is best to buy from reputable producers.
👉 We recommend our Sicilian pistachios: natural, safe and controlled.
Pistachios in pregnancy and toxoplasmosis
One of the most common concerns is the risk of toxoplasmosis. However:
- Pistachios are not at risk for toxoplasmosis because they are not raw meat, cured meats or unwashed vegetables.
- Even if one is not immune, pistachios can be safely consumed.
👉 Remember, however, to store them properly and not to exceed the recommended doses.
How much pistachio in pregnancy can you eat?
A serving of 20-30 g per day (about a handful) is more than enough to benefit from the nutritional properties without overdoing the calories.
💡 You can use them:
- As a snack breaker
- In the yogurt
- On salads
- In cakes and cookies
Conclusion
Pistachios in pregnancy are a valuable ally for the well-being of mother and baby. Rich in nutrients, safe when consumed properly and absolutely no risk of toxoplasmosis, they are a healthy and tasty choice to incorporate into the daily diet.
